[AusNOG] GoodBye NBN

[Peter Betyounan]

I would rather not spend the $30b the liberals are for literally the same
speeds we have now for the majority of users. I mean why would you spend
that ludicrous amount of money for maybe double the speeds? Where do you
think this world is heading in the next 50 years in terms of how we work,
live & interact? Your mum is not our next generation and should not be the
reason we don't build this, it is your kids that you should be concerned
about and their kids. I would of been much happier if no NBN happened under
the new government as the money could of been used more wisely elsewhere.
You either do it right or don't attempt to do it at all.


Regards,*
Peter Betyounan*
